Today marks the beginning of the third New Zealand Chinese Language Week. So it’s a good time to get a primer on some of the basics. Language teacher Chunxiao Lu has been helping RNZ presenters up their skills, and she was kind enough to help to brainstorm a new name for Eva Radich. Chunxio also tells us about the history of the dialects, and its connection to other languages – including Te Reo.
